Re: how long did it take you before you started breeding?
you cant blame her :) im just planning on changing that idea. she things i would get bored from animals LOL!!! i've been married for two years, i've always wanned to get a parrot, i've raised some in my previous years and trained them well, actually i trained them to burp!! :D they were cute when i give them some coke to burn their tongue and then burp :) well, to be honest, thats expected from most girls around here and i never thought i'd get a snake!!!! until i found out that they sell some pythons for 260 USD. or even 300 USD. well, i think they're just one year old!!. so i thought , maybe if i go to another country and bring one back with me. so i did :D ever since then, she's adjusting to the idea!, 1st she asked me to put it in a bathroom and cover the cage with something. you can say im a good husband. but when it comes to something i really really want to do, i wouldn't listen to anyone. so mom called me/granma called/ her mom called me and most of the women did and asked me to throw it away!!.. hehehe so i made a small place in the living room, get some temp stuff. now she doesn't mind holding it
actually yesterday, she had her on her lap when lahsa decided to move and explore around. so lahsa decided to go under her shirt, my wife was SCREAMING!! "PLEASE TAKE HER AWAY!! EEEEEEK!!!" hehehe i was laughing alright, then i felt she'd do something bad to lahsa if i left her in her lap :) so i took her..
snakelady :) i live in a rich spoilt community where everyone get what they want actually. not all but most, think about the gucci stuff and the other bull**** i dont like. so finding a girl that LOVES animals is something really hard. actually they all love kittens when they are small but thats about it, my boss's wife would scream hysterically if she sees a snake, although he used to have a boa when use used to study in the states, lol, now he wants to come over when im feeding it and just wants to hold lahsa he's like "i wanna meet her!!!" :) .
i talked alot.. "shrugs" well, i dont like anything about her bags/wallets :P she doesn't like animals, i let her keep those and she lets me keep mine!! if she does something bad to lahsa, i'll do something bad to her stuff... kinda made her think twice about killing lahsa "shrugs" :D

This is a great point for single folks who already know how much herps are or will someday be a part of their lives. A lot of us, however, were already in wonderful marriages when we discovered or re-discovered a love for these animals. It's very, very challenging when your spouse doesn't understand and doesn't particularly like them. But lots of communication and understanding on MY part has brought us a long way. I don't think my hubby will ever share the fullness of my interest in snakes, or even understand it....but he understands how important and real it is to me and he respects that and does his best to support me.
Sounds to me like Johar's wife is trying hard to support him as well. :)
Re: how long did it take you before you started breeding?
yeah she is :D thats why i dont mind buying her stuff "lol". after listening to many and many facts about snakes, she calmed down. she doesn't understand and i dont think she cares about her. she's given up the fact that i would let it go.. some to think of it, she's thinking of her as a nice snake leather when she grows up!! "sighs!!" women!! :D
